Engage in productive activities, Sapit tells Kenyans

ACK Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit has urged Kenyans to be responsible and engage in productive activities following the lifting of the nationwide curfew.

Sapit told Kenyans not to spend the night hours in bars but instead conduct business.  

He spoke on Saturday at ACK Trinity church in Kianjakoma, Embu during the Kenya Anglican Men’s Association and Mother’s union ordination.

Sapit said the Kenyan economy had been affected by the curfew since March last year and Kenyans should unite to revive it. 

President Uhuru Kenyatta lifted the curfew on Wednesday during the Mashujaa Day celebrations.

The President said that the Covid-19 positivity rate has fallen below five and urged Kenyans to adhere to Covid rules to ensure the situation in the country stabilises.

Sapit urged Kenyans to get vaccinated to boost their immunity. 

“Covid-19 is still here with us and we can only stabilise our health through taking the vaccine,” Sapit said.

He applauded the President for lifting the curfew.

Sapit called for peaceful campaigns and urged Kenyans to prioritise peace and exercise their constitutional right.

The call came on the day Deputy President William Ruto's caravan was pelted with stones and vehicles destroyed during his tour of Busia county.
